Clients are predominantly individuals. VIMA also provides financial planning and consulting services (in part to document the implementation of our investment management strategy). The strategy is then implemented in conjunction with the client’s investment goals and objectives, level of risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax and/or legal implications and other concerns where applicable. The firm customizes client portfolios and invests in publicly traded equity and fixed income securities, mutual funds, ETFs, and may utilize various covered call writing strategies. These services are provided pursuant to one or more written advisory agreements setting forth the terms and conditions of these services. Clients can impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. As of December 2024, VIMA has a total of approximately $150,242,478 assets under management. Of this total asset amount, $150,010,233 is considered discretionary assets and $232,245 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. Item 5: Fees and Compensation The firm charges a management fee ranging between 0.1% and 2.5% of total assets under management on an annualized basis. The fee structure is expressed on an annualized basis and is collected quarterly, in advance, or arrears depending on the financial advisor you work with. Fees are directly debited from client accounts by the qualified third - party custodian as authorized in a client’s written agreement with VIMA. Clients who use our services for 401k only consulting (no assets directly with our custodians) will be mailed or emailed an invoice on a quarterly basis, and can pay by check or credit card only. The firm charges a management fee ranging between 0.1% and 2.5% of total assets under advisement and is collected quarterly, at the end of the previous quarter. If you have assets with a custodian and you want 401k consulting advice, you have the option of debiting the total fees within the custodial assets, or paying by check or credit card for the 401k advice only. You cannot write a check for all assets under management. The fee schedule varies by financial advisor, but no advisor can charge no more than 2.5% per year: (the following fee schedule is negotiable and gives general guidelines only). $1 - $250,000 = 1.5% $250,001-$500,000=1.35% Page 4 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC $500,001 - $750,000 = 1.25% $750,001-$1,000,000 = 1% $1,000,001+=negotiable VIMA’s annual investment advisory fee for discretionary contracts includes both investment management services and financial planning and consulting services. Non- discretionary contracts include investment management services with optional financial planning and consulting services. The firm considers these services complimentary to providing appropriate investment management services. VIMA also offers a fixed fee for services relationship. (You can request the Fixed Fee Agreement contract from you Financial Advisor). You can pay for consulting advice in lieu of moving assets directly to custodians offered (Pershing & TD Ameritrade). This can come in the form of Financial Planning, 401k advice & recommendations, debt management, or any financial advice in general. Where clients may incur additional expense from brokerage-based activities, clients should be aware that all custodial and transaction fees remain separate and distinct from those fees charged by the firm for its asset management (and the included financial planning / consulting) services. All fees paid to VIMA for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders (our clients). These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. Supervised persons of VIMA may receive compensation for the sale of insurance products in the supervised person’s separate capacity as a licensed insurance agent. When acting in this capacity, supervised persons will receive commissions for selling insurance and annuity products. Please refer to Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations for disclosures related to this outside business activity as insurance agents. If a client has purchased a fixed insurance product or annuity from a supervised person of VIMA in the supervised person’s separate capacity as an insurance agent, the value of the fixed insurance product or fixed annuity is not considered an asset under management for the client’s advisory account managed by VIMA and the value of such fixed insurance product or fixed annuity is not included in the value of Assets Under Management for the purpose of calculating the client’s advisory fee for VIMA’s investment management services. Accordingly, clients should review both the fees charged by the mutual funds and the advisory fees charged by the firm to fully appreciate the total amount of fees to be paid by the client. Page 5 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC VIMA and clients may terminate the advisory agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. Upon termination, any fees paid in advance will be prorated to the date of termination and any excess shall be refunded to the client. VIMA and its supervised persons receive 50% or more of their revenue from advisory fees charged for advisory services provided through VIMA. VIMA and its supervised persons do not receive more than 50% of their revenue from advisory clients from commissions and other compensation related to the sale of investment products that are recommended to clients. Termination of contract can be verbal or written. Termination of contract starts when we receive an outgoing transfer from the client for money held with our custodian. 401k consulting clients (no transfer of money to our custodian) can terminate the contract verbally or in writing. The contract ceases the day the written or verbal request is received by our office. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side by Side Management As the firm’s advisory services do not incorporate performance fees or the offering of any additional investment services, side-by-side management does not apply to those services rendered by VIMA. Item 7: Types of Clients The firm provides investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals. VIMA does not require clients to maintain a minimum account size for investment management clients. Any advisory agreement with VIMA is non-transferable without the client’s written approval. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss VIMA's primary asset management strategy utilizes a top-down approach for each investment sector, filtering securities by various ratio criteria. The securities selected are designed to reduce risk and increase performance. In order to accomplish this objective, the firm primarily invests in exchange-listed securities, CD’s, mutual fund shares, ETFs, and in some instances, employs a covered call option writing strategy over the long term. Although the intent of the options-related transactions that may be implemented by the firm is to produce current income and and/or to hedge against principal risk, certain of the options-related strategies may, in and of themselves, produce principal volatility and/or risk. Thus, a client must be willing to accept this enhanced volatility and principal risks associated with such strategies. In light of these enhanced risks, client may direct the VIMA, in writing, not to employ any or all such strategies Additionally, the firm may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement, where such movements may adversely affect the portfolio. Page 6 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC VIMA may also recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of client, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the client’s risk tolerance. In some instances, clients may authorize the use of margin in their account, typically for liquidity purposes. As a result, clients assume the additional principal risks associated with the use of margin. Clients authorizing margin are advised of the potential conflict of interest whereby the client’s decision to employ margin shall correspondingly increase the management fee payable to VIMA. The decision to employ margin in a client account is left totally to the discretion of client. In addition, a client will incur additional portfolio costs related to Margin (an interest fee payable to your broker / custodian as margin is “borrowing” cash from the broker based on your portfolio value). Risk of Loss: Investing in securities involves a certain amount of risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Where short term trading methods are employed, the cost of more frequent trades can often incur more expense than that of a more conservative or long-term purchase approach. Questions regarding these risks and/or increased costs may be directed to the firm and its representatives. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Please note, the firm does not have any disciplinary, regulatory, criminal, civil, or otherwise reportable history to disclose at this time. However, there is a disciplinary event to report for an individual advisor of the firm. Please review page 21 of this handout &/or FINRA’s broker check for more detailed information. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations VIMA is not and does not have a related person that is a broker/dealer, municipal securities dealer, government securities dealer or broker, an investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or "hedge fund," and offshore fund), another investment adviser or financial planner, a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor, a banking or thrift institution, an accountant or accounting firm, a lawyer or law firm, a pension consultant, a real estate broker or dealer, or a sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships. Investment adviser representatives serve as separately licensed insurance agents and, as such, are involved with the sale and servicing of fixed annuities on behalf of various insurance providers. If a client elects to purchase insurance products through individuals associated with VIMA, said individuals will be compensated by the provider on a commission basis. This receipt of commissions creates an incentive for the representative to recommend those products for which the investment adviser representative will receive a commission in the representative’s separate capacity as an insurance agent. Consequently, the advice rendered to a client could be biased. Clients are under no Page 7 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC obligation to implement any insurance or annuity transaction through the investment adviser representatives of VIMA. Note: Although VIMA provides financial planning and consulting services to all portfolio management Clients (for no additional fee) if a client purchases a fixed annuity through VIMA and our Investment Adviser Representatives as insurance agents or brokers, the additional compensation is not used to off-set the advisory fees (see Item 4, above) that you pay to VIMA. The firm maintains a fiduciary obligation to place its clients' interests first. However, clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation itself can create a conflict of interest and may affect the judgment of this individual when making investment recommendations. In order to properly handle such potential conflicts of interest, the firm has adopted a Code of Ethics. Please see Item 11 (below) for further discussion related to the firm’s Code of Ethics. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading VIMA and/or its representatives may purchase or sell investments for their personal accounts that they have similarly recommended to clients. VIMA has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the basic policies of ethical conduct for all managers, officers, and employees of the firm. The Code of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary duties and obligations to clients and sets forth the firm’s practice of supervising the personal securities transactions of employees who maintain access to client information. The Code also addresses: • Prohibitions on insider trading • Restrictions on the receipt or provision of gifts, entertainment or gratuities • Restrictions on political contributions (play-to-play) • And addresses the sanctions that VIMA imposes on those who violate our Code The firm collects and maintains records of securities holdings and transactions made by employees. The firm reviews the personal trading practices of its employees to identify and resolve any potential or realized conflicts of interest. A copy of VIMA’s Code of Ethics is available upon request. Item 12: Brokerage Practices The firm will recommend to clients that investment management accounts be maintained at one of our custodians-Pershing or TD Ameritrade. As a condition of receiving the firm’s services, Clients must independently evaluate our custodial options to ensure that custodian meets the Client’s needs. The firm requires Clients to then “Direct” VIMA to use the chosen custodian for all Client Account security transactions (see below). Page 8 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC Factors that the VIMA considers in recommending custodians (or any other broker-dealer to clients) include, but are not limited to the following: • historical relationship with the firm, • financial strength, • reputation, • execution capabilities, • pricing, • research, and • service. The transaction charge paid by clients; VIMA believes are reasonable in light of the services provided to VIMA’s client’s fiduciary duty to obtain best execution. Clients and the firm may receive from the custodian without cost (and/or at a discount) support services and/or products which assist the VIMA to better monitor and service client accounts maintained at the custodial institution. Included within the support services may be investment-related research, pricing information and market data, financial planning software and other technology. There is no corresponding commitment made by the firm to the custodian or any other any entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as result of the above arrangement. In addition, the firm does not receive any research, products, client referrals, or other services from a broker-dealer or third party in connection with client-based securities transactions (i.e. no soft dollars), including our custodians. Item 13: Review of Accounts Accounts will be monitored on an on-going basis by Michael Mazzola and Michael Vissotski. Accounts may be reviewed more frequently as necessary to respond to significant changes in client circumstances or changes in market conditions. Triggering factors to warrant more in-depth review could include the following; • Awareness of a change in client’s investment objective change in market conditions • change in client’s employment status • re-balancing of assets to maintain proper asset allocation • • other activity discovered as the account is normally reviewed. Clients receive written brokerage or custodial statements each month from their custodian and are encouraged to notify the firm of changes to personal finances, especially those changes that might adversely affect client’s investment plan. VIMA, itself does not issue reports to any Client; the only reports on your accounts that you receive are from your independent, third-party qualified custodian. Page 9 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation VIMA will periodically compensate, either directly or indirectly, another person or an entity for client referrals. Clients that are referred to VIMA are not obligated to use our services. It is merely another option for the client. At the time VIMA is introduced to the client, the Client referred to us will receive a solicitor disclosure statement to review. Item 15: Custody When it deducts fees directly from client accounts at a selected custodian, VIMA will be deemed to have limited custody of client’s assets and must have written authorization from the client to do so. Clients will receive all account statements and billing invoices that are required in each jurisdiction, and they should carefully review those statements for accuracy. Custody is also disclosed in Form ADV because VIMA has authority to transfer money from client account(s), which constitutes a standing letter of authorization (SLOA). Accordingly, VIMA will follow the safeguards specified by the SEC rather than undergo an annual audit. Custody is also disclosed in Form ADV because VIMA has client’s user ID and passwords for some accounts which allows them access to the accounts to affect trades on client’s behalf. These accounts will be subject to an annual surprise audit by an appropriately designated Certified Public Accountant with the results of such examination filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as required by Rule). Item 16: Investment Discretion VIMA typically maintains discretionary authority over the selection and number of securities to be bought or sold in client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from clients. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the client and agreed to by the firm. The firm does maintain several non-discretionary accounts where Clients must provide prior consent to the transaction (via telephone call, email or other communication methodology). Please understand that if non-discretionary Clients are not available during market hours, VIMA cannot place transactions for a client’s account. As stated above (Item 12) transactions are placed at your custodian are subject to your written instructions; however, if you have contracted for management services for qualified plan account assets (such as your 401(k) account), then transactions for the qualified plan account will be placed with the applicable qualified plan account custodian. Page 10 Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements VIMA, LLC If you have elected to receive investment management for your 401k or other qualified plan account, you may be asked to provide VIMA with on-line access information (your User ID and Password) for your qualified plan account. VIMA will use your on-line access information exclusively to manage your segregated qualified plan account on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, as specified in your advisory services agreement with VIMA. VIMA will not have authority to submit a request for a distribution or withdrawal of funds from your qualified plan account. If VIMA’s management services for your qualified plan account are terminated for any reason, then in order to ensure that VIMA will not have continued access to your qualified plan account, you should promptly change your User ID and Password that had been provided to VIMA. Item 17: Voting Client Securities VIMA does not maintain any voting or proxy rights with respect to corporate actions related to such assets. The client will vote their own proxies, which they will receive directly from the respective custodian / broker-dealer. Item 18: Financial Information Investment advisers are required to disclose certain and financial information about their business practices that might serve as material to the client’s decision in choosing an investment adviser. VIMA does not maintain any financial hardships or other conditions that might impair its ability to meet its contractual obligations to clients. VIMA neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with this brochure.
